TEEN MAKEUP AND SKIN CARE

It wasn't too long ago that I was a teen myself. This August I will be turning 27 and it is sort of a scary yet exciting feeling. I have learned so much about hair, skin care and makeup since my teen days and now things are so much easier to access information about beauty world through countless books, online forums, blog sites and even you tube has become a huge outlet for education on makeup applications!. One thing I can say for the teens out there who have trouble with acne like I did, I know how you feel. As a teen with acne, you want to disappear into the background and smother your skin with as much makeup you can to cover it all. I once used an Almay foundation that was sooo heavy I might as well just put the whole bottle on my face lol. At the time I didn't know much about makeup and how to cover acne and blemishes or how to reduce redness, the only thing I knew really was to not pick at it because it will make it worse. Now I can say to all the teens facing the same problem as I did that there are so many options out there it can be overwhelming. It really is a trial and error process to find the right skin care product for you but if your acne really is a big problem whatever you do do not use the heaviest foundation out there. You already have oily skin so you do not want to smother it with and oil based foundation, always make sure it is water based if you are using a foundation. Another good makeup to use which is what I currently am using myself is a medium to full coverage powder from AVEDA, It gives you the coverage you need and you do not feel like you have a face full of heavy makeup, you look smooth and matte and feel confidant that your acne is toned down but you will not look like you are wearing heavy makeup. Another thing I learned was about tanning, I had tanned for many many years to help my acne and as it did I was told a few months ago that because it is drying out your skin it is also setting the scars in your skin and that you cannot undo, luckily I have only very very little scaring but I still always hated it and felt horrible about it. So just remember water based foundation, powders are great too! NO over doing the tan and always wash your face before bed so you do not clog your pores while sleeping.

SENSI CLEAR CLEANSER

Having clear skin is not always the easiest thing to achieve, fortunately after years of using alcohol, Noxzema, oxy pads and the most drying of products which at the time I thought was really good for my skin, I found Sensi Clear. I seen it one day while I was watching the Janice Dickinson reality show ( the model show) Sensi Clear had come to her modeling agency in LA and wanted to use her models that had acne prone skin to try out the product on them to see how well it works. I figured if Janice Dickinson can have them on her show and trust they will see results then I can give it a try.

I went to the website and signed up for the trial period and let me tell you how happy I was that I did, the product last a very long time (about 2 months) I have been using it for almost a year now and after 3 weeks I could see instant results. I have not used anything since although it is good to changed every few months, but I was really satisfied with the product I am still using it. Although my skin looks 10 times better, I still feel as though I am the girl with bad skin and when I talk to my clients and refer to my skin as "BAD" they give me a funny look and said "your skin looks great" I wish I could record them every time they said that so I could send it to the company!.

I do have oily skin and I also having some permanent scaring, which is now permanent from all the tanning I have done in my life to eliminate my acne, but i can say that I will leave the house without make up and that is something I never thought I would do, so thanks to sensi clear and I hope this helps anyone in my situation..
